Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0060 Alexandrite *

Finish matters because it changes how much light reflects off the coating, which changes the way SW0060 Alexandrite is perceived on the finished item. The same matched color can read differently in matte, satin, or glossier finishes because the surface reflection changes.

When you order a match of SW0060 Alexandrite, choose the finish based on the final object and the look you need on that surface. The color code by itself does not define sheen, so the finish is a separate product choice and can affect the final appearance even when the color match is correct.

Confirm SW0060 Alexandrite from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. Screen viewing can shift the color, and that can lead to ordering the wrong target.

MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, so the key step is verifying that SW0060 Alexandrite is the exact color you want before you place the order. If you already have a painted sample or brand swatch, compare against that reference rather than relying on a digital photo.

Coverage for SW0060 Alexandrite depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage can be lower if the part is textured or if the substrate needs extra coverage.

If you are painting a larger project, plan for the number of coats you expect to apply rather than the square footage alone. For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and the application.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW0060 Alexandrite can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, and similar items where spray application is practical.

For these parts, spray paint is often a better fit than brushing because it helps reach edges and detailed shapes more evenly. Make sure the part is cleaned and prepared for coating, since surface prep and the material under the paint can change the final result.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the SW0060 Alexandrite color name alone. If you need the safety information for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific paint format.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW0060 Alexandrite, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
